Report from out In the tate,.to the

These forerunners of a reoord-smashing
attendance caused the carnival manage

around the grounds Thursday, and re
build It farther out, so as to enlarge the
Plana. They also established an emer
gency hospital, under the direction of Dr.
Jesse D. Wilson, official carnival physi

in order to properly care for any chance
cases of accident or i-lckness that might

CANADA'S SHARE IN THE WAR Ju3t as to how great an extent Canada has so far
contributed to the fighting forces of the allies in the field is a military secret, but it is .
no secret that the people of the Dominion have been active in the matter of giving as
sistance to the mother country. This picture shows the Canadian field artillery on the

PARIS, Oct. 1. (Sperlal Cablegram
to New York World and Omaha, Beo.)
The vigorous offensive of the allies has
compelled the recent extraordinary efforts
of the Germans nowhere successful to
break through, the allies' center for re
lief. The French reintorcementa, brought
up In response to the German movement,
are winning gradually to the main artery
of the German position. It may not be
severed, but it Is now at least exposed
to the knife.
Towns Captared Over Attain.
Towns and villages from Vic-Sur-Aisne
round to Peronne, and beyond are being
captured and recaptured dally in . the
work of turning the German flank, and
the valor, and desperation of thea Ger
mans In their efforts to . keep the allies
out, frequently bring them partial suc
cess, v.
In' all that country the fighting during
tho last week has been of an extraor
dinarily violent character, but the general
progress of the allies eastward and in
ward Is unquestionable.
At Lasslgny, for example, a German
force the strength of which I could not
learn, has been surrounded by the French.
Cut off from the main body, it has taken
refuge in ' soma . extensive quarries and
its position now; Is very like that of Gen
eral Cronje's aV Paardeburg In the Boer
war.
The quarries, which are of the usual
nature, were of German ownership, so
every yard of their Intricate working is
known to the German ' troops. Long
subterranean passages are . electrically
lighted.
Inhabitants as Shield.
The Germans, when they saw their
retreat was impossible, drove Into the
refuge thousands of inhabitants, mainly
women and children. These poor creatures
now act as" shield for the German
soldiery, but as French troops now sur
round the position, with the French ar
tillery shelling the German guns and the
trenches, nothing but a miracle can save
from imprisonment this section of the
German force. In the end It must sur
render. ENGLAND LIFTS EMBARGO

LONDON, Oct' 1. Turkey, the Lpndon

about to make a demand concerning the

therefore, to bring Turkey Into the

LONDON, Oct. 1. During the strategical
relief of the allies southward from the
Belgian frontier, the French troops ex-
1 acted from the' Germans blobdy revenge
for the 'French retreat' at Sedan "forty
four years before.' On this same battle
field, according to. the Paris correspond
ent of the Dally Mail the Germans suf
fered .one of the worst defeats of the
present Invasion. They . were led ' Into a
trap which cost them thousands of men,
he says. The French could have held
their position Indefinitely, but strategy
required them to continue, falling back
wlth'the remainder-of the allies 'along
the line. Here Is the story of the second
battle of Sedan, as told by the correspondent:-
.
"The French general ordered his troops
to full back across the river and take up
positions on the ' opposite heights. ; The
bridges were rained, but were left stand
ing In order to deceive the Germans Into
thinking that the French were retreating
hastily. The ruse succeeded. The Germans
advanced across the bridges In close' for
mation. When several German regiments
had crossed - the French blew up , the
bridges and-the French artillery started
firing at 100 German columns, which re
treated hastHy to the river only to find
the bridges gone.

"The French regiments then advanced
with quick-firers, and ye merciless slay
ing continued until dusk. Many soldiers
threw down their arms and attempted
to swim tb river and large numbers
were drowned. When nightfall came the
French brought up searchlights and con
tinued the work of carnage.
"The artillery threw shells at the rate
of a dozen rounds a minute into the Ger
man ranks and varied its tactics by
throwing Incendiary shells into the for
est where part of the German force had

the whole front of fifteen mile.
"In the morning an armistice of two
hours was granted to allow the Gerraana
to bury their dead. The French had
suffered the loss of only a"hsndful."

, As soon as news of the German advanoe
waa received, i French cavalry was sent
to hold the enemy at 'Auberlve. Depart

Infantry time to come up from Soualn,
a place near Auberlve. Rut while the

Two German Divisions Destroyed,
LONDON, Oct. t The correspondent
of the. Telegraph at Petrograd, telegraph
ing regarding the operations In Russian
Poland near the East Prussian , border
sava:
The triangle formed by Joining Bt. Bhut
shln, Augustowo and Ossowets is little
more than a vast swamp, making military
operations difficult even In the best of
weather. Rain ha been falling heavily
for the last two days, but the Russians
nevertheless are pushing on determinedly.
The recent fighting has been eatigulnary,
two German divisions having been de
stroyed in the battle of Druskenlkl. In
the west of Russian Poland the brushes
between the advance guards continue.
"The Polish peasants are extremely bit
ter against the Germans and this feeling
has been Increased by contact with Ger
man hunger. As an Instance the Germans
everywhere pretended to pay for supplies
with documents written In German, which
the peasants.- found had" transcribed
thereon that 'whoever presents this at
the end of war will be hanged."
Peasant Hang; German Soldier.
"There has probably been sniping by
the civilian population, as the bodies of
six peasants were found hanging to a
tree In a Polish town a few days sgo.
Their lellow townsmen vowed to have
revenge and two daya later a German
scouting party round the bodies of twenty-two
German soldiers hanging from the
same tree.
"A U'tter received here from a Russian
officer who is camping on the estate of
i Emperor William at Romlnten, East Prus-
, sla, says:
" 'William's estate la magnificently
equipped and we have everything at our
disposal which we could wish. We are en
joying particularly delicious dinners pre
